Piwik on OpenShift  
=========================  
Piwik is a downloadable, open source (GPL licensed) real time web analytics software program. It provides you with detailed reports on your website visitors: the search engines and keywords they used, the language they speak, your popular pages, and so much more.  

Piwik aims to be an open source alternative to Google Analytics, and is already used on more than 150,000 websites.   

More information can be found on the official Piwik website at http://piwik.org

    Running on OpenShift  
    --------------------

    Create an account at http://openshift.redhat.com/

    Create a PHP application

        rhc app create -a piwik -t php-5.3 -l $USERNAME

    Add mysql support to your application

        rhc cartridge add -a piwik -c mysql -l $USERNAME  
    Make a note of the username, password, and host name as you will need to use these to complete the Piwik installation on OpenShift

    Add this upstream Piwik quickstart repo

        cd piwik/php  
        rm -rf *  
        git remote add upstream -m master git://github.com/gshipley/piwik-openshift-quickstart.git  
        git pull -s recursive -X theirs upstream master

    Then push the repo upstream to OpenShift

        git push

    That's it, you can now checkout your application at:
